Florist Decorates Statues With Flower Beards And Crowns To Remind About Forgotten Monuments

Geoffroy Mottart gives life to cold monuments in Brussels by providing them with flower crowns and beards. This urban intervention project is called Fleurissements and it aims to revive statues in parks that seem to be forgotten.

Every piece of this colorful organic series lasts only about a day, but Geoffroy shares photos of his creations on Instagram. Some statues (like the bust of Leopold II of Belgium) are too irresistible for the florist, so he repeatedly comes back to them with different designs.

I think they are cute. They add some color and catch people's attention in a good way (unlike what some idiot with a black marker did to the bust on picture seven :S)
